Hi peeps, hope you all are well!Today I have a layout featuring 2Crafty Chipboard to show you.

Earlier this year I surprised our youngest daughter and bought a ticket to a concert with her favorite band, the Australian boy/rock-band 5SOS.

I really made "her day" and she had the time of her life!! (I missed my earplugs LOL)

So the photo on this layout is from this concert and the fabulous lightshow as you can see!

I really love the Hessian Patch Panel chipboard and know I'll be using this very much!

I cut it in several pieces and placed it near the photos. Gesso, archival ink and Ecoline

watercolor is used on the chippies. I love to mix colors on my chippies according

to the rest of the layout.

The title "Best Day Ever" is colored with Archival Ink, black and white gesso.

One of the things I like to to do on my layouts is to use multiple photos and place them as you see here. It give the layout dimension I think.

Look at this amazing Hessian Patch Panel again, it's just so cool!

Here I have used the "Heart Charms" and given it the same treatment as the rest of the chippies.

My background is made with Heavy Gesso by Prima/Finnabair, black gesso, Ecoline watercolor, stamps by Prima/Finnabair and 7Dots Studio.I cut out lots of bits of pattern paper as a start, to get even more dimension.

All the papers I have used is 7Dots Studio, 9th Wave

Hope you liked my layout and I'll be back soon with some cards, also featuring 2Crafty Chipboard.

For my project this month I have chosen one of the many photos taken in Rome.

And this time it’s from the beutiful place Trastevere, located near the river Tiber.

Really, this is a place I would like to live when I retire!

Loved the narrow streets, the old houses with the gorgeous colors and the whole atmosphere.

Scenario: me sitting outside one of the tiny restaurants with a bottle of Prosecco..... a dream!!

So here it is, my layout from Trastevere:

I used papers from 7Dots Studio Dreamer collection and some heavy Gesso, stencils, stamps and ink on the background. The chipboards are colored with Archival Ink Orange Blossom (love that color). Of course some of my new favorites – Ecoline watercolor.

I also did some stamping with black Gelato + water. Makes a “blur stamping” and I love that look.

Both the title and the grid under the photo are chippies by 2Crafty Chipboard which I used Archival Ink in different color to get the color I wanted.

Hope you like my dreamy layout and make sure to visit Trastevere if you ever go to Rome!!
